Round Barn Winery
Another winery, just down the road is Round Barn Winery. In addition to being a great winery, Round Barn is also a distillery and brewery. One of the remarkable tastes you can't miss here is their DiVine Vodka, which was rated "The Best" by Chicago Magazine - even better than Grey Goose, Ketel One, and Belvedere in January 2007!
Round Barn has one of the more active vinyards in the area, and there are often entertainment available in the summer as well as guided tours for a small fee and a picnic spot, so it makes a great place to plan a lunch. Unlike other wineries in the area though, they charge a small fee for purchasing a tasting glass (makes a great souvenir!), but it includes 5 wine samples, 1 desert wine, and 1 vodka (straight or martini of the day).
Exploring the Area ...
The Southwest coast of Michigan is
filled with lots of cute little beach towns that you can find millions of
things to do on a chick vacation. The beaches are beautiful white sand
dunes. It is really heaven. The towns of St. Joseph, South Haven,
and Saugatuck have cute downtowns with different shops and a variety of
restaurants. All of the towns also have festivals and fairs of some sort
going on all year round.
While the summer is obviously the best time of year to get the most out of the area, most Michigan tasting rooms are open year round.
The wineries featured in this article are less than 2 hours from Chicago, less than 3 hours from Detroit, and about 3.5 hours from Indianapolis.
